My Project

Our class has many students who are struggling with reading. Unfortunately, our classroom library does not have enough books to help them grow as readers.

More books means more choice which, essentially means more growth!

By donating to this project, you will help our 3rd graders who are struggling with reading to become proficient readers. You will also help to provide them with books that they will enjoy reading.

Right now, we are printing books out for these students from various websites. This is not sustainable or feasible to continue doing. Additionally, these students want to read published, colorful books like their classmates. They don't want to read black and white photocopies of books. Will you please help make my students' reading dreams come true?
